Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 29, 1908.

Application filed October 26, 1907. Serial No. 399,883.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ABBo'r ihueus'rus Low, a citizen of the United Statesfjiresidin at Horseshoe, St. Lawrence countyfan State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in- Holders for Cards, Tickets, Papers, &c., of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to devices for holding cards, tickets, papers and like articles which it is desired to carry upon the person or bind together temporarily or otherwise, and is designed to afi'ord a plate of simple structure adapted for use m conjunction with one or more elastic bands b which the cards, tickets, aper's or the hke may be bound. temporari y in such manner as to be convenient y accessiblefor use. The invention consists in a plate. of the s ecific construction herein shown and ascribed in combination with one or more elastic bands.

In the accompanying drawin s, Fi ure 1, is an elevation of my holder ate; a similar view showing the use of; elastic bands in conjunction therewithf Fig 3, an

end edge view; Fig. 4, a side edge view; Fig.

5, a section upon plane of line 55, Fig .A 1.

. The plate 1 is made of metal of su c'ent thickness-to insure rigidity. It is elongated and rectangular in general configuration, and is preferably formed with a central longitudinal opening 2, to facilitate the handling and manipulation of cards, tickets -'or like articles placed upon the plate.

Each edge 3, of theplate 1 is formed with a series of undulatory notches, the notches in each series coinciding with those in the opposed outer edge of the plate. These I retaining band or be provided for the notches, while admitting of the application of an elastic retaining band or bands either transversely or longitudinally with relation revent accidental They application of such elastic ands at practically any and all parts of the late, as may be found most expedient un er the varying conditions of actual use. a T

5, represents T-shaped slots which may urpose of receiving and inclosingthe big ts of the band if desired, but this feature forms no part of my invention.

Both sides of the to, and upon the plate, displacement of said ban or bands. also admit of the late may be utilized as a backing or hol er for ca1'ds,papers, '&c., and the holder is designed especially foruse as a pocket device, although applicable to various other uses temporarily and permanent in character.

What I claim as m invention and desire to secure by Letters atent is:

A card holder of the character described, comprising a single ri id elongated plat-e provided with a centra elongated opening and having a series of undulatory notches extendin g around its outer edge and provided with T-sha ed apertures a-p roximating its longitur inal center and al o its transverse. center, said T-shaped aperture extending inwardly from one of the notches and adapted to receive a rubber band as and for the purpose described.

ABBOT AUGUSTUS LOW.
